Brain Puke XIV

Lots o shit swirling around in the toilet bowl that is my brain. Let's capture some of it here.

Right off the bat - FUCK YOU, CONGRESS AND FUCK YOU, NRA!

Second - FUCK YOU, BOSTON COWARD BOMBERS!

Third - FUCK YOU, FAUX NEWS!

Wow, that felt good!

YAYZ to Uruguay and New Zealand for saying OK to same-sex marriage this week!

So the Kash Kow got her way in divorce court.  Watch out, Kanye, this bitch is trouble with a capital T!

Kash Kow and Jessica Simpson should have an ass-off to see whose is bigger during pregnancy.  I bet my fat ass could not even compete with theirs!

I lost 4 pounds last week!

I pushed down 80 pounds on the tricep machine today!

Ya know all those pretty flower pix I took last weekend?  The daffodils and hyacinths?  This week they are all dead.  Except for these hardy souls which popped open this week.  Enjoy the tri-color daffodils, dr. spo!


The weeping cherry, bradford pear, forsythia, and mountain laurel are still loverly; they do not fade as quickly as the flowers.  I am also seeing peony stalks pushing up the dirt.  And the honey locust is beginning to bud; when that tree blooms, OMB, the air smells so damn good!

It's been all disco all the time here the past 2 days via AOLRADIO.COM.  I must confess that my allergies and a touch of depression had me sinking Thursday and Friday.  I stayed home from work and I didn't want to see anyone.

To combat the blues, I put on some disco music and I did some knitting and baking.  I made my never-fail vegan chocolate cake and a chocolate cherry cake, which will go to work with me on Monday.  I started a new knitting project which I hope to wear during next year's blogger meetup (only 355 days til...).

Tomorrow there will be a homemade quiche for breakfast.  And cawfee, of course (no rubbish).

Instead of snow like RJ and CB received, we got rain Thursday and Friday.

Spouse went to the DIY store today (without me, thank bob!); he came home with 2 bags of bird seed, 2 red pepper plants, 2 tomato plants, 1 cherry tomato plant, and a bag of starter soil for the veggie plants.

Damn, the backyard grass (the legal kind) got high all of a sudden (bwhahahahaha).  Time for spouse to fire up the ole john deere for the season!

Meanwhile, out in Denver today, they are puffing on the wildwood weed (the illegal kind, which really should be legal).

The cats are currently asleep on the sunporch (in the sun, of course) and spouse is passed out in his laz-y-boy.  WTF am I the only one awake?

Cubby, WHERE ARE YOU?  We love you and miss you!

Dammit, I wish I had a disco dance partner nearby! :(  Exercise AND weight loss rolled into fun!  Graphic courtesy of Sean.

Saturday Night Dance Party!

"Come To Me"; and when you get here, what will you do?

Only 355 days til...(you know what!)

Liar Liar Pants On Fire! (#6) (update)

I thought I would steal this from Jim.

Here are 5 things about me; which one is the lie?

1. It's only 356 days til the next blogger meetup!

2. My baseball team sucks ass.

3. I try to eat salad 3x/week.

4. I still have a landline phone in my home.

5. I have a wood-burning fireplace in my living room.

Place your bets, folks!

******************** 

I have a guest blogger providing the answers this time: the spouse!


1.  TRUE.  You know, math was never my strongest subject, so I will take her word for it.  The reference is to the blogger meetup in Lewes DE in 2014.

2.  TRUE.  We root for the Phillies, and they are not doing very well this year.  The term “suck ass” is very subjective; I wouldn’t say they suck ass so much as they are playing like the Peanuts kids with ace starter Charlie Brown.  Okay, they suck ass…

3.  FALSE.  Bingo!  Anne Marie hates vegetables which precludes her eating salads…ever.  Oh, she’ll do a fruit cup and raw carrot sticks once in awhile, or eat grapes and strawberries and bananas for snacks, but tuck in to a huge bowl of greens with dressing and croutons…no f-ing way!  I, on the other hand, will eat salads every chance I get. I am also the only one in the house with a heart condition. Yeah, even my doctor can’t figure out that disconnect either.

4.  TRUE.  We believe we are the only couple on the North American continent who do not own a cell phone.  Call us on our land line or at work or not at all.  We’ll not only admit this, but we’re smug about it.

5.  TRUE.  We do have a fireplace in our living room, which is used only when it gets verrrrrry cold outside. Since we had a mild winter, the fireplace did not get used at all this season.

Ron receives lovely parting gifts for guessing correctly!

12 of 12 (Backyard Paintbox Edition)

I stole this idea from Blobby; sue me.

Since yesterday sucked ass (rain/rain/rain, cold, windy, no sunshine) AND I was at work, I could not get photos.  Today it's still cold and windy, but the sun is out (heh heh heh).

So here is a look into my backyard paintbox - this is to give Dr. Spo and Mangina a peek at what they are missing.


weeping cherry


yellow daffodil


white daffodil
 

forsythia


bradford pear


purple hyacinth


pink & white hyacinths (for Ron's mom)


 yellow hyacinth

 

mountain laurel (PA state flower)


 white w/yellow center daffodil
(reminds me of a Cadbury cream egg)


double flower yellow daffodil


weeds (already)

All these flowers popped open this week, since we had a 2-day record heat wave.

You may be asking yourself:  why no snowdrops (already dead), or crocus (already dead), or tulips (deer and squirrels ate every damn one spouse planted!).

Have a nice weekend (baker's dozen)!

Brain Puke XIII (Lucky #13)

Lots o shit swirling around in the toilet bowl that is my brain. Let's capture some of it here.

OMB, it's been over a week since the spo-a-rama-lama-ding-dong and the attendees are still feeling the high!  A more potent drug you never will find!  That 20-25 people could come together with nothing more in common than a blog post and have discovered so many shared/similar circumstances amongst themselves is nothing short of splendid!  (damn, I outdid my alliteration skills on that sentence!)  (sings) We had a gay old time!

Other people have posted photos/short stories about the event, so I will not repeat the same.  However, it appears that some new friends took pix of me that actually turned out quite complimentary.  Now to bribe them into giving me copies...(rubs hands together with evil grin)

Let's all hope the SCOTUS does the proper thing and make same-sex marriage the law of the land.  What's taken all y'all so damn long?

3/31 is the day chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chicks and black (only) jelly beans jump into mouth and travel right to my hips!

Some of my friends have experienced loss this past week. :'(

I think I need a day off work to recover from being overwhelmed.  I want a day where I can bake things (like quiche and mac-n-cheese and pound cake) and knit and get laundry finished and grocery shopping done.  Baking quiets my hyper-speed mind.  And thank bob for dishwashers!  So this Friday, look out kitchen!

Baseball season opened for me on 4/1, and it was no April Fool's joke.  We sucked major ass.  Our spring training was 50/50.  Nope, not gonna be a good season AT ALL.

Work is boring me to death right now.

It's nice to wake up to birdie chirps again.  And it keeps my cats amused.

My allergies will NOT quit, and I have had a few asthma attacks in the past 2 weeks.  Filthy pollen!

Spouse and I had mexican food on 3/31, because NOTHING says happy chocolate bunny day like mexican food!

So some bitch in GA is saying "str8 people are going to pretend to be gay to get marriage benefits".  SAY WHAT?!?  You can't make this shit up if you tried!

Coming home from MIL's house on Sunday, I saw 2 trucks advertising Kim Kartrashian's perfume.  Probably smells like skank ass.

It stays light until 8p now - YAYZ for longer dayz!

All is dark and quiet outside my house at 2a; guess I should get some sleep, huh?  Wish I had a hunk or two to sandwich me...

************************************

UPDATES

"Pat Robertson explain that miracles happen with greater frequency in Africa because there are no Ivy League schools." - SAY WHAT?!?  You can't make this shit up if you tried!

Would someone PLEASE explain to me why some businesses close on the Friday before chocolate bunny day, but NOT on Passover (unless you are Jewish) or Eid al Adha (unless you are Muslim) or Diwali (unless you are Hindu)?  Seems like a blurring of the separation of church and state to me; end it!

Still winter here, chilly days and nights.  Uh, I thought it was spring...
